Abstract
Since 1965, 67 operations were performed to correct a subclavian steal-syndrome. Mortality after transthoracic correction in 30 patients was 6.7%, but no patient was lost after 37 extrathoracic reconstructions. The long-term results in these reconstructive procedures were excellent, with a patency of 94.7% from the 4th-5th yr after transthoracic approach. Over 90% of the patients were asymptomatic or improved.
